Celiac Disease symptoms

Does anyone have Celiac Diesease?

If so, what made you first suspect that you had this? What were the symptoms? Is anyone else in your family showing similar symptoms?

i stopped taking wheat products in my diet, and it seems to be really working, but I'm not sure.

 

Thanks

One of my friends have Celiac and I'm pretty sure the symptom she has was diarrhea. I won't call and ask her if it's true, I hope you'll understand...

Here's a list of symptoms of Celiac.

I was sick off and on growing up.  Finally when I was 19 my gastroenterologist tested me for celiac and sure enough I have it.  My symptoms were gaining obsessive amounts of weight, sometimes vommiting, constantly sick to my stomache.  You need to go to a gastroenterologist and have them test your blood.

6 out of 7 have it in my home.  7th may possibly have it but refuses testing.

I'd never heard of cd until our ped dx'd my middle child, then 9, with the disease.  For 9 years we'd done elimination diets to figure out the cause of her stomach pains and constant diarrhea. 

Other family symptoms: migraines, seizures, muscle/bone aches/pains, nerve issues (numbness, tingling), stomach upset, heartburn, night blindness, aggressive behavior, depression, attention span issues, memory loss.

Before "allowed" to go GF, my daughter had blood, stool, and endoscopy tests done.  The last 4 females only had blood and endoscopy proof.  My son has the cd gene--blood test only.

 We were told not to go GF until the tests were completed or we would skew the results.  My personal results were inconclusive though I have 2 genes and felt 100% better on the GF diet.  With those 2 components I am gluten intollerant, not celiac.

Good luck!
